Speaker 5: tight show.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Don't have to pass that message on.
Speaker 3: Then it's up to try.
Speaker 1: Before we talk about you as a dad, I'm keen
Speaker 1: to know when you were a kid. This could be
Speaker 1: let's say, high school, primary school. What type of youngster
Speaker 1: were you?
Speaker 5: I had stages until I was like ten or so.
Speaker 5: I was a sweet, shy little boy, very good, you know,
Speaker 5: I didn't get in trouble much. And then I guess
Speaker 5: I got out of the shy face and so kind
Speaker 5: of middle school on I was like awful and my
Speaker 5: mom got called by every teacher that was class cloud.
Speaker 3: So I was getting into that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Was that because of puberty or did you have a
Speaker 1: bad influence at school?
Speaker 5: I guess I guess a little puberty. You know, I
Speaker 5: was late to the game, your little hair on my armpits.
Speaker 5: Maybe start talking.
Speaker 2: Back a little bit. But did you have an awkward phase?
Speaker 3: Oh? I had an awkward face.
Speaker 5: I was just randomly looking at old photos with my wife,
Speaker 5: and yeah, I was the classic braces off hit puberty
Speaker 5: all in one fell swoop.
Speaker 3: So I came back. I was like the kid from
Speaker 3: the movies.
Speaker 5: I came back one summer and I was able to
Speaker 5: finally get a date to the dance. I was like wow,
Speaker 5: I was yeah, glowed up because before then, I remember
Speaker 5: I remember trying to make a joke and a girl
Speaker 5: let me right in my eyes. And when I was
Speaker 5: like twelve, she's like, you know, you're not even cute, right,
Speaker 5: and that's you know.
Speaker 3: But at least I'm funny. I'm trying.
Speaker 1: Uh what was her name?
Speaker 3: Her name was Kaylee Ah, Kaylee's. You gotta stay away
Speaker 3: from Kayley's.
Speaker 2: How did she spell it?
Speaker 5: K A I l e y not even cute way
Speaker 5: to spell it.
Speaker 2: I don't even need the eye in there now. I
Speaker 2: do not need to be there.
Speaker 1: That's so tough for her. Whenever she opens up Instagram,
Speaker 1: like any social media and you're there and you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm now doing a global too.
Speaker 5: She's like, I know I should hit her up before
Speaker 5: I'm I'm cute again. I'm getting there. I'm thirty, getting bald.

Speaker 5: so keep that hair man thirty years will be doing.
Speaker 5: I mean it is, it's awesome.
Speaker 3: I'm all in on the Golden Bachelor. But okay, I
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 1: Hey, but when you're past puberty, you're rebelling a little bit.
Speaker 1: Do you remember at that age, was there a situation
Speaker 1: where you got yourself into a lot of trouble? Is
Speaker 1: there one scenario that sticks out?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 5: I was just a punk kid, always trying to get
Speaker 5: attention to class. I never did anything crazy bad and trouble.
Speaker 5: What sticks out is more like embarrassing. Got myself in
Speaker 5: trouble in another way, where I started goofing off with
Speaker 5: some friends I made that we did this huge fundraising
Speaker 5: assembly at our school where I went to a big school.
Speaker 3: Three thousand kids or whatever, and whoa they would do.
Speaker 5: These like dares of this high school's gonna come down
Speaker 5: and shave his legs for charity. And one day they're like,
Speaker 5: we just raised the funds to get trak in It
Speaker 5: down here to sing in front of the whole school.
Speaker 5: When I'm like stage right, terrified kid and got I
Speaker 5: got handed a mic in front of thousand kids and
Speaker 5: I just shut down.
Speaker 1: Wait did you know going into that assembly that that
Speaker 1: was going to be on the car?
Speaker 5: I was like surprise, And I was like the youngest
Speaker 5: kid in school, you know, you were the youngest grade.
Speaker 3: And so everyone's like I have no choice. I get
Speaker 3: thrown out there.
Speaker 2: What song was it?
Speaker 3: Well, first they just hand me a mike and go sing,
Speaker 3: and I'm like I don't.
Speaker 5: Then they're like, well he will play a song and
Speaker 5: they throw on Miss new Booty.
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm like, okay, what what do I do
Speaker 3: with this? I'm like I found you miss new Booty,
Speaker 3: and I just kind of like run off Kayley's life.
Speaker 1: That's disgusting.
Speaker 2: He's not even cud.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was humiliar. Are at this day they're all
Speaker 5: in on it? I mean they had to feel horrible
Speaker 5: for me. I just nearly cried running off. That was
Speaker 5: a day I had basketball practice after school. I just ditched,
Speaker 5: went home and I took a bath, and I'm.
Speaker 3: Not embarrassed, And that's what I needed, man.
Speaker 2: That's what I need, warm bath and a good dacent cry. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Were you drawn more towards your mom or your dad
Speaker 1: growing up?
Speaker 5: Do you think I had great? Parents are still together.
Speaker 5: And my dad was a funny guy. You know, everyone
Speaker 5: was like, oh man, your dad's so funny. He was
Speaker 5: the funny man. And my mom was like the easy target.
Speaker 5: So I was with her more because he worked all day,
Speaker 5: and I would just give her a heck of a
Speaker 5: time great because she was so easy and she also
Speaker 5: has a good susumor, so I would just That was
Speaker 5: my first experience with like, if it's funny, you get
Speaker 5: away with it, which is kind of like what comedy is.
Speaker 5: And there's so many memories where I just I just
Speaker 5: get her to crack, and she'd be like, dang it,
Speaker 5: you're making me laugh. She's inspiration for my mom character,
Speaker 5: like a classic momb involved in everything, led the pta,
Speaker 5: you know, packed my lunch every day, just ultimate mom.
Speaker 5: The first thing I'm not kidding, the first thing my
Speaker 5: mom does every day when she wakes up not get coffee.
Speaker 5: Doesn't even drink coffee. She doesn't need it. She's like
Speaker 5: super mom energy. She just sprints to the laundry room
Speaker 5: and gets the laundry fire. Well, it's like it's like
Speaker 5: my wife, she's fired up to get the laundry going.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what kind of mom energy is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this morning my wife was like and hear rummaging
Speaker 2: around the laundry and then I hear the buttons going
Speaker 2: beep beep beepepeepeppeep. I was like, fuck, it's like six
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 5: Ryan, right now, I think at these beeps every time
Speaker 5: the laundry finishes, they play like sixty seconds of a
Speaker 5: song these days.
Speaker 3: It's horrible, but.
Speaker 2: I have the sound on my phone and I always
Speaker 2: get my wife with it.
Speaker 3: I just play the.
Speaker 2: Sound and then I eat nice.
Speaker 5: I like that maybe that'll I feel like that comes
Speaker 5: with more. Y'all been Dad's longer than me. My wife,
Speaker 5: I'm seeing her she starts to bake muffins now she
Speaker 5: never I think that just something happens in their in
Speaker 5: their body, because before we had a kid, my wife
Speaker 5: was big on the like, hey, just because I'm a
Speaker 5: woman doesn't mean I'm gonna be cooking around here and
Speaker 5: doing laundry. I kind of like, I mean, I'm for
Speaker 5: like pro women. But it was nice when y'all did everything.
Speaker 5: But it's just it's she can't help herself. She's making
Speaker 5: muffins now everything.
Speaker 1: You're like, did you make these? And she's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they're store boards. So I can see the raisins and
Speaker 1: flowers out in the kitchen bench.
Speaker 3: She's embarrassed.
Speaker 2: What sort of dad was your dad?
Speaker 3: Like? He was classic dad energy?
Speaker 1: Was he the disciplinarian? Was he the bad cop?
Speaker 5: He was so he was funny, goofy guy. But at
Speaker 5: the same time, when he was around, I was much
Speaker 5: more well behaved because he could lay down the law quickly.
Speaker 5: It was amazing how quickly he could be like just
Speaker 5: the funniest, goofiest guy ever. And then the next breath.
Speaker 5: He's like, you're gonna go lay bricks with your hands
Speaker 5: because you upset me. So he he was disciplinarian, but
Speaker 5: also like tough guy too. He taught me to be
Speaker 5: like work hard and all that good stuff. He ran
Speaker 5: his own business, but he knew i'd have fun.
Speaker 2: What sort of business did they run?
Speaker 5: My grandfather started, he took it over, my dad built it.
Speaker 5: He just retired. It was an automotive shop, tired automotive business, right.
Speaker 3: And yeah, blue collar work.
Speaker 5: And I was just never I joke about it, like
Speaker 5: I can't even I could hardly change a light bulb.
Speaker 3: Now you know, I'm a total millennial.
Speaker 2: Like you got an assistant for that, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dad, you love? I mean, it's horrible. We we
Speaker 5: just delivered groceries. My assistant gets thinking, it's it's pathetical
Speaker 5: life I live in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3: He's disappointed, but sounds amazing. It also sounds amazing that it.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any expect from your dad like that?
Speaker 1: He was going to try and bring you into the fold,
Speaker 1: into the mechanic business.
Speaker 5: That's what I've give him credit for because he told
Speaker 5: me him and my mom years later, just a fe
Speaker 5: years ago. They once I really got going with this
Speaker 5: comedy thing, They're like, we we kind of knew you
Speaker 5: do something a little like different, which I appreciate them
Speaker 5: for because I got pressure from outside sources. But my
Speaker 5: dad never once, I think he subtenly would be like,
Speaker 5: come to the shop and let's like because him as
Speaker 5: a kid, he loved like.
Speaker 2: Let's get greasy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he loved to get under the hood and stuff.
Speaker 5: And I'm an, I was like, can we can I
Speaker 5: just go home and write my little stories.
Speaker 2: This is tiring, my finger's hurt exactly back on the bricks.
Speaker 3: I wasn't built for it.
Speaker 2: Talking about your comedy, you started creating content at a
Speaker 2: really young age. I mean both Matt and I are
Speaker 2: in our thirties now, and late Bloom is late bloom
Speaker 2: is to the content. But you started out on Vine
Speaker 2: back in what nine it.
Speaker 3: Vine started in twenty twelve.
Speaker 5: I was on it right at the beginning. Yeah, so
Speaker 5: over ten years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't a huge thing here for us in
Speaker 2: Australia like TikTok and Instagram is. But I do recall it,
Speaker 2: but I don't recall it being like this big thing that.
Speaker 3: Ever I did oh yeah, took over America.
Speaker 2: Did you and all your friends start doing it?
Speaker 5: Or It's funny because it was before it blew up
Speaker 5: in America and it was kind of started this wave
Speaker 5: of like so many huge famous people now came from Vine,
Speaker 5: like I mean Logan and Jake Paul who everyone else?
Speaker 3: Sean Mendez?
Speaker 5: I mean some people don't realize and Sean did I
Speaker 5: someone you know the old game like who's the most
Speaker 5: famous person on your phone? Shawn Mendez? I had more
Speaker 5: followers than him on Vine when I was like, I
Speaker 5: was like eighteen and he was fifteen. Wo so he
Speaker 5: would like text me.
Speaker 3: Like, man, I just try. I just look up to
Speaker 3: you so much.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I was like, Sean, please.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty funny on hindsight, like okay, and then
Speaker 5: I did the class of course of the class of
Speaker 5: like help.
Speaker 3: Everything's good Sean when he was like, they didn't massive,
Speaker 3: we're not friends. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 2: I don't think, Yeah, he's like who is this guy?
Speaker 1: When was the last time you sent Shawn a text?
Speaker 5: That was probably I think when we were actually in
Speaker 5: touch a little bit would have been twenty fifteen, sixteen,
Speaker 5: when the Viners would have like a group text. But
Speaker 5: I think I tried in like seventeen or eighteen. I
Speaker 5: was like, Sean, I'm I see you have a show tonight.
Speaker 5: What I just didn't?
Speaker 2: You're still here.
Speaker 1: You can't be like because you do have a little
Speaker 1: bit of singing. You got a great voice. You're like, hey, Sean,
Speaker 1: why why?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's in a voice my most Sean, it's trade.
Speaker 3: It's like I want world. He's like, dude, you text me.
Speaker 3: I was fifteen, it was eighteen, But.
Speaker 1: I imagine back then was it like it is now, where
Speaker 1: there's you know, it's almost like the social currency. If
Speaker 1: you got followers, you got straight cred.
Speaker 5: That's a great question because no, I was bullied beyond
Speaker 5: what you can imagine because it was like what it
Speaker 5: wasn't a thing yet, right, You.
Speaker 2: Think of you were an outsider or an outcast.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you think when you started a podcast like ten
Speaker 5: years ago, people like what do you do? You're just
Speaker 5: talking to Mike, like get a job. It was kind
Speaker 5: of like that where I was in college. I was
Speaker 5: at Oklahoma State University and doing vines for fun, and
Speaker 5: it blew up. I got a million followers and I
Speaker 5: was making money from brand partnerships. People didn't have a clue.
Speaker 5: They thought it was making zero dollars. They were just like,
Speaker 5: why is this guy making so many videos like this?
Speaker 3: Weird?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, nice hobby, bro.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to endure.
Speaker 5: I'll never get being out at the college bar and
Speaker 5: a big group of people go.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, look it's the Vine guy Trey and then
Speaker 3: they all laugh something out of like a movie, And.
Speaker 2: I was just like, you should write a movie about that.
Speaker 1: Really, you crawled so we could run exactly, thank you.
Speaker 3: You're welcome. You're welcome one we did?
Speaker 2: Actually are you one? Yeah? You took the ground of
Speaker 2: the bullying. I know when I started making contact my
Speaker 2: friends alike, Bro, you've got kids, you're meant to be
Speaker 2: an adult. What the fuck are you doing?
Speaker 3: Right? A little bit of that for sure.
Speaker 5: Everyone says that at the start, So you got to
Speaker 5: you got to push.
Speaker 2: Through that absolutely.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now in college, if you have a million followers in college,
Speaker 5: you I mean, you're the coolest person my goodness, But
Speaker 5: not ten years ago.
Speaker 1: But I'm surprised then, Like I guess, obviously it's early
Speaker 1: days in Vine, so a million is not worth the
Speaker 1: saying back then, as it is now. But you went
Speaker 1: off to university and you like, when do you go
Speaker 1: get a real career? Was it like against your will
Speaker 1: or did you have to try and tell yourself like, no,
Speaker 1: this is I've got to I've got to follow the
Speaker 1: social norm and I've got to get a nine to five.
Speaker 5: I definitely was still very committed to following the what
Speaker 5: you're supposed to do, But at the same time, I
Speaker 5: did not believe in any way that this would be
Speaker 5: a career. This is before the word influencer existed or
Speaker 5: or brands were dying to like pay kids to make content.
Speaker 5: It was still like, I mean, how how long is
Speaker 5: this going to last? So I was just still I
Speaker 5: got my degree in business, then I got my master's
Speaker 5: in business, just kind of killing time. I didn't go
Speaker 5: to a tough school.
Speaker 2: Is it come in handy now with now that you
Speaker 2: technically run this big business?
Speaker 5: Now now people, yeah, I have a finance degree and
Speaker 5: people it's they're like, oh, that's kind of cool, right.
Speaker 2: Kober numbers.
Speaker 3: I was making pines the whole time, so I wasn't
Speaker 3: really paying attention.
Speaker 1: Do you use any of that knowledge for I meant
Speaker 1: your masters for loud?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I guess I probably don't give enough credit.
Speaker 5: I learned some things. I have a baseline understanding of
Speaker 5: finance and got some good business experience, but I was
Speaker 5: also getting top business before the Instagram in literally even existed.
Speaker 2: So yes and no, you're probably a bit behind on
Speaker 2: the curriculum of what's now relevant, right.
Speaker 3: Right, did I don't forget it?
Speaker 5: During that business school, I had one professor who credit
Speaker 5: to him. He was kind of he was a little
Speaker 5: ahead of his time, but he was like, you're doing
Speaker 5: these videos, You're making a living. That's very entrepreneurial. And
Speaker 5: I was like, I mean, I don't know. He's like,
Speaker 5: you should come talk, let me do your town. He
Speaker 5: was like, you should come talk to my undergrad freshman
Speaker 5: young students. You should come like speak to them. And
Speaker 5: I was just like, this is not going to go
Speaker 5: how you think it's going to go.
Speaker 2: You just sung new Booty basically.
Speaker 5: Missed New Booty all over again. I got up in
Speaker 5: front of these students and they couldn't care less what
Speaker 5: I was saying. Yeah, I think by the end of it,
Speaker 5: I was like, I found you just had flashed.
Speaker 1: So what was what was the tipping point?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 1: Because I think it's the hardest moment of like deciding Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw in my career and go all in
Speaker 1: on content.
Speaker 5: The tipping point was graduating. I was trying to get
Speaker 5: a real job.
Speaker 3: I had a finance degree.
Speaker 5: Mind you, but I got a master's and I was like, okay,
Speaker 5: I don't I'm discovering this more creative talent and desire.
Speaker 5: So I went to try to go get like a
Speaker 5: more creative marketing job, and I was pitching myself as like, hey,
Speaker 5: I've worked with PEPSI and these big brands, and I
Speaker 5: think I can It's social media's the future, and I
Speaker 5: was in hindsight, I think it was a little ahead
Speaker 5: because these people were like, I don't, we don't care
Speaker 5: about social media, Like what do you? And I couldn't
Speaker 5: get a job that I was trying, and so I
Speaker 5: kind of was just like, screw this, I'll.
Speaker 2: Make videos and create your own job. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Twelve, like six twelve months later later, it became pretty parent.
Speaker 5: I could make a living for a while doing it.
Speaker 5: So it's kind of my own failure that led to
Speaker 5: the other success.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I kind of imagine me trying to pitch
Speaker 2: to like my parents' particular job in that social media
Speaker 2: was going to be the next big thing, because that
Speaker 2: would be the same thing that would have been like
Speaker 2: what the fuck are you even talking about? But like
Speaker 2: now it's just crazy.
Speaker 1: Do they get it now?
Speaker 3: Try for sure? Yeah? I mean I say my parents
Speaker 3: were always supportive.
Speaker 5: My dad again, way more than my mom because classic
Speaker 5: she couldn't understand it at all.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I was like, I can't, Mom, I'm busy this weekend,
Speaker 5: I'm getting flown out to make snapchats for Amazon.
Speaker 3: And she was like what what.
Speaker 2: What does any of those words?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: And she would just be like, I hope you're doing
Speaker 5: your schoolwork, okay, making your videos.
Speaker 3: You better be focused on the score.
Speaker 5: And my dad, you know, being a little more business man,
Speaker 5: he's like, I mean, I see you're making this money.
Speaker 5: I mean that's a job, right, make money. You go
Speaker 5: keep doing it. But yeah, now it's to the point
Speaker 5: now where all their friends and stuff they come to
Speaker 5: they're a big fans, so that's as very proud and
Speaker 5: uh yeah, they're always supportive.
Speaker 1: But did you make any mistakes? Because I'm thinking back
Speaker 1: to when I was eighteen and nineteen and I was
Speaker 1: a little bit reckless, and you've got a lot of responsibility.
Speaker 1: You know, you're working with really big global brands. Did
Speaker 1: you stuff up any jobs?
Speaker 5: I man, I think I was lucky because I was
Speaker 5: raised so like straight edged and conservative and like clean.
Speaker 5: My initial out of the gate videos were I was
Speaker 5: more like terrified of the Internet and like upsetting anyone.
Speaker 5: So they're like really squeaky clean, like g rated Disney vibes.
Speaker 5: So in that regard that was helpful. I didn't like
Speaker 5: go rogue and do this terrible stuff. I was like,
Speaker 5: we gotta I'm gonna get canceled. We got to delete,
Speaker 5: delete the old videos.
Speaker 2: I had to do that.
Speaker 5: I think for sure, the old tweets, you gotta get
Speaker 5: rid of that. No, I did the old I would
Speaker 5: look through the old tweets. I was proud to say.
Speaker 5: I was like, what did I tweet when I was fourteen?
Speaker 5: Luckily nothing crazy?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: I literally had my bob to look up and old
Speaker 5: Halloween costume where I dressed as a like this young
Speaker 5: character who was played like by a black kid, and
Speaker 5: I was like, Mom, check the photo, Please tell me
Speaker 5: you didn't paint my face.
Speaker 3: Credit to my parents, they did.
Speaker 5: Not put me a black face twenty years ago. But
Speaker 5: I think the biggest mess up or even just again
Speaker 5: embarrassing moment was and also on their end too, like
Speaker 5: we want to hire you come make vines on the
Speaker 5: red carpet of the Billboard Music Awards. It's like dark
Speaker 5: and there's like machine gun Gelly, there's like a rat
Speaker 5: music happening.
Speaker 3: I was like, how how do I a video? Like
Speaker 3: just do your thing?
Speaker 5: I mean, it's this horrible video where and I'm like
Speaker 5: dancing and like Ed Sheeran's right there. It was like
Speaker 5: I didn't meet it of these people. They just saw
Speaker 5: me over there looking like an idiot. But those those
Speaker 5: early days before.
Speaker 3: People understood all the ramifications of social media.
Speaker 2: You need proper lotting and yeah, yeah, yeah, I try.
Speaker 1: I love some of your characters, and I'm kingson are
Speaker 1: they always coming from other people around you, like within
Speaker 1: your close circle, or are they like within your family
Speaker 1: even closer.
Speaker 5: For the most part, the mom character is my mom,
Speaker 5: you know for sure. The female character Tracy has developed,
Speaker 5: but that was very much inspired by I was surrounded
Speaker 5: by girls in my family. I have a sister, and
Speaker 5: then I'm very close with all my cousins. I'm the
Speaker 5: only boy, just me and all these girls who are
Speaker 5: exactly like, yeah, they're amazing, stereotypical like basic girls, and
Speaker 5: then full girlies, yeah for sure. And then the people
Speaker 5: love my middle school character, which.
Speaker 1: Was just me Maddics.
Speaker 2: I love Madics.
Speaker 5: Maddox, just mimicking how I remember behaving. That's one of
Speaker 5: those classic ideas where I was like, I almost didn't
Speaker 5: even post it.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't need to post this, right.
Speaker 1: And then your beautiful wife, where did you guys meet Katie?
Speaker 3: We've been together, We've married three and a half years.
Speaker 5: We met on Instagram when you know it, just as
Speaker 5: people do of true love story.
Speaker 2: True Love Story, Matt picked his wife from like twenty
Speaker 2: seven other women.
Speaker 3: So how long you been together?
Speaker 1: We we did this show. I think it was about
Speaker 1: man memories playing tricks to me. I think it was
Speaker 1: like eight years ago. Eight years ago the show finished up.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's great that you had easy. I had
Speaker 1: like a billion girls to pick from on Instagram.
Speaker 5: It was kind of like, it's kind of it was
Speaker 5: tougher for me. You had it easy, man, Yeah, you
Speaker 5: had it easy. But I genuinely DMed her and we
Speaker 5: hit it off. And she lived in Atlanta. I lived
Speaker 5: in Oklahoma. I was like I was, I'm in town,
Speaker 5: let's go to dinner. It was just hit it off,
Speaker 5: up all night talking and we did long distance for
Speaker 5: like over a year, and wow.
Speaker 1: Do you remember at what point you began to think like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this could be the mother of my children.
Speaker 5: There's an element of like that first date where you're like,
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, because I was dating and stuff,
Speaker 5: you meet girls and you're kind of like, I don't know,
Speaker 5: maybe you know, am I being too picky? The classic
Speaker 5: what we've all known before you meet the one? And
Speaker 5: that first date I was like, man, you know, she'd
Speaker 5: lived across the country and I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: fly back here next week.
Speaker 3: I think we both kind of had a good feeling.
Speaker 5: And then we had a we had a conversation four
Speaker 5: or five months in where we were kind of like,
Speaker 5: this is pretty obvious. This is where really well right,
Speaker 5: like yeah, yeah, it's like okay, I really feel like
Speaker 5: this is it?
Speaker 1: So I want to get you pregnant?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's funny but at least not practicing.
Speaker 5: And it's funny because you people get made fun of it,
Speaker 5: like you got married within like a year of meeting,
Speaker 5: are you crazy? But it's like, I mean we kind
Speaker 5: of did, or you know, eight weeks. I don't know
Speaker 5: how long the Australian batcher is. It's pretty click over here,
Speaker 5: but I mean we basically did. We're like this is good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: she moved across the country and it's just always worked.
Speaker 1: So did you always want to be a dad that
Speaker 1: was always on the CODs feet?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 5: I say that I'm even also with her, I was like,
Speaker 5: I don't you know, I think I feel like a
Speaker 5: lot of guys so this way and never when I
Speaker 5: really think about it, it's not like I ever desired
Speaker 5: I don't know if I was like I can't wait
Speaker 5: to be a doubt I wasn't really like that.
Speaker 2: I was just saying it was like, if it happens,
Speaker 2: that's amazing.
Speaker 5: But it was more of I feel like I had
Speaker 5: the awareness to be like, well, when I'm fifty, I
Speaker 5: don't want to just sit around.
Speaker 3: I mean, what am I gotta do?
Speaker 5: It just feels like I when I'm eighty, I would
Speaker 5: like to have grandkids. I'd be cool, right, So I
Speaker 5: should just do this and then you do it and yes,
Speaker 5: you guys know, it's like he's about eight or nine
Speaker 5: months right now, and yeah, I mean it's to the
Speaker 5: point I hate being around him, hate being away from him.
Speaker 3: Question around us sometimes it's fun.
Speaker 2: And his name is Thomas, right.
Speaker 3: Thomas, Well, we have a question for you.
Speaker 2: Where does the name Grimace come from?
Speaker 3: Oh? Dude, did you see this?
Speaker 5: I don't know, some hilarious I don't know if someone
Speaker 5: who hates me or is a fan being funny, but
Speaker 5: we got alert of this recently and my wife is
Speaker 5: just I think it's hill spots like grim It.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: On my Wikipedia, which I don't know who started this,
Speaker 5: they're like Trey Mett, Katie that've been married, he does this,
Speaker 5: he's a comedian blah blah, and he welcomed the son
Speaker 5: Grimace on in February.
Speaker 1: We were like, maybe that's an American normalness.
Speaker 5: That's awesome that you literally doing your research, like I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 2: The last night, I was like, something's not right here,
Speaker 2: and he was like, it's Thomas. I'm like, dude, it's Grimace.
Speaker 2: He's got those videos about like so.
Speaker 1: Maybe he did it to like stitch people And how's
Speaker 1: beautiful Grimace.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Did you have a list of baby names, like you
Speaker 2: personally have a list of baby names that were, you know.
Speaker 3: Ready to go or no.
Speaker 5: So if we had a girl, we had nothing. We
Speaker 5: really didn't have any ideas. We're kind of like didn't
Speaker 5: degree on anything. But the boy we had it kind
Speaker 5: of easy. My wife agreed to this. It's a family name.
Speaker 5: He's Thomas the fourth. Okay, I'm the third, So I
Speaker 5: go by Trey?
Speaker 1: Can I? Because I've never met anyone. I don't know
Speaker 1: anyone who is.
Speaker 2: Like Grimace, who is.
Speaker 1: Like it's a numerical name. Do you use that? Like
Speaker 1: your flights booked? Is as like trade the third?
Speaker 5: My legal name is Thomas, so Trey means nothing to
Speaker 5: the US government. So if I book flights, if I
Speaker 5: get a bank account of anything, it's it's Thomas.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you used Tray you might get detained.
Speaker 1: But is it like the third afterwards? Can you use that?
Speaker 5: It's first middle last name. Three, It's like my birthtifate
Speaker 5: government name. I just go by Trey.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's not like it's not a real big thing
Speaker 2: here in Australia, like there might be the odd family.
Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah, in America, it's very If you meet a
Speaker 5: I always I did a joke about this, if you
Speaker 5: meet a white boy named Trey, he's like Gerald the third.
Speaker 5: But there's a ton of black dudes named Trey short
Speaker 5: for like Treva Andre or something, because I grew up
Speaker 5: with playing basketball and there was always a black Tray
Speaker 5: and other team. So I'd be like they talking to
Speaker 5: me or him, It's like, he's not the third.
Speaker 1: Australia's too, like we just pull of convicts out here
Speaker 1: around long enough for that.
Speaker 2: And now I've got an American friend from Nebraska and
Speaker 2: he's like Jerome the seventh, and I'm like, okay, dude.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess we'd like, you know, with the former British,
Speaker 5: we like to kind of keep that going. Let's get
Speaker 5: those eleventh and sixteenths going. That's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 1: Hey, what's it like. I'll be honest, I'm very naive
Speaker 1: when it comes to cultural differences between Australia and the States.
Speaker 1: What's it like for you guys As a dad preparing
Speaker 1: for childbirth? How do you guys prepare for that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd love to hear y'all so generational here too,
Speaker 5: because my father. I feel like my generation's fathers were like,
Speaker 5: we work, we provide, mom does the rest. You know,
Speaker 5: that was the culture, and now we're in this culture
Speaker 5: of like dad gets paid time off from his job
Speaker 5: to help mom, and he's he's changed. So I joke like,
Speaker 5: kind of what my dad had a pretty good I'm
Speaker 5: out here in the trenches changing diapers. But you know,
Speaker 5: I prepared, and my wife had us signed us up.
Speaker 5: She's still lean the charge, of course, she's mom, but
Speaker 5: she signed us up for like classes. So we did,
Speaker 5: like a breastfeeding class. Breastfeeding class. I was like, I
Speaker 5: don't breastfeed. Why am I here? Number two? They show
Speaker 5: dozens of breasts in the video is.
Speaker 3: Great, and I'm like, hey, do you want me to
Speaker 3: watch this?
Speaker 5: I don't understand at Yeah.
Speaker 3: The funniest part of the breastfeeding class.
Speaker 5: Of course, you know there are supermodels, right, there's regular
Speaker 5: women and it's your kind of whatever. But they there
Speaker 5: was this one they like, you can't do this, You're
Speaker 5: gonna make a breat feeding video. They showed like an
Speaker 5: attractive girl breast fan and you could see all the guys.
Speaker 3: You're like, whoa, yeah, you can see the guys in
Speaker 3: the room while kind of be like okay, that one
Speaker 3: feels awkward. Am I supposed to look?
Speaker 5: Or so we did classes and she like really did
Speaker 5: all this physical therapy and preparation to like get things
Speaker 5: strong so she would like be able to stay healthier
Speaker 5: after and got the baby's room the nursery already, this
Speaker 5: crib very nice. We had to put in a wallpaper
Speaker 5: and wasn't with the wallpaper. She's like, my body, my choice.
Speaker 5: It was like, that's not what that phrase means. You
Speaker 5: can't use it for wallpaper. So that was yeah, that's
Speaker 5: all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you have a choice? I mean, like here in Australia,
Speaker 1: this may be really obvious and you're like, yeah, no, shit,
Speaker 1: of course we have that. But we have the choice
Speaker 1: of you can have like a water birth. You have
Speaker 1: like in the delivery suite, you have like a little
Speaker 1: plunge pool where you can give birth in the pool.
Speaker 5: Oh this is fascinating, hYP no birth, Yeah, the water
Speaker 5: birth is in the hospital.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I remember we had like a tour of
Speaker 1: the delivery suites and then there was one where these
Speaker 1: like the plunge pools are there, and I remember thinking
Speaker 1: like what the what's this for? And they're like, oh, that's.
Speaker 2: For the after party.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I for me, Hey, if you're into that,
Speaker 1: totally fine, Like good on you for doing that. I
Speaker 1: thought for me, like I don't like blood to the
Speaker 1: thought of like being in the plunge pool, like as
Speaker 1: the baby comes out, like I just not for no thanks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you add puke to the pool. It's like a hole.
Speaker 3: It's just too much, too many fluids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1: There's like floating turd going by as well.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's a really disgusting soup.
Speaker 5: Would you say like one in ten people do that
Speaker 5: or less? Or is it way more common?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I had a friend who had both their kids's water
Speaker 2: birth and it's like, look, I can't even sit through
Speaker 2: the story because I'm like, do.
Speaker 5: Y'all have a lot of home births where people just
Speaker 5: do it at their house accidentally more than.
Speaker 1: There's actually there's a few, And I'm sure like people
Speaker 1: will come at me for this, but those people are
Speaker 1: kind of like a little bit.
Speaker 4: Weird woo woo.
Speaker 5: Right, Okay, so it's very similar. Yeah, and my understanding
Speaker 5: is like what most people do. Just good hospital doctors
Speaker 5: are there, they're ready. And then there's birthing centers, which
Speaker 5: are like in between your house and a hospital, where
Speaker 5: it's like you're here and the hospital's right there if
Speaker 5: you need it. But people sometimes, you know, some of
Speaker 5: these people are like, hospitals are scary and bad, so
Speaker 5: we want to be near one in case. You know,
Speaker 5: it's funny when things go really bad, they're like, we
Speaker 5: love hospitals.
Speaker 2: I want to give birth. This bus off.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then some are the home which, yeah, the home
Speaker 5: births are agree.
Speaker 3: I joke about that too.
Speaker 1: What did you guys up for?
Speaker 5: Oh, just good old hospital, traditional traditional. She she didn't
Speaker 5: do like all the drugs. She wanted to kind of be,
Speaker 5: but she got the epidural.
Speaker 2: I actually fainted during the epidural, did.
Speaker 3: You Yeah, you're not supposed to get it.
Speaker 2: No. I wasn't even watching it. I was just in
Speaker 2: the room and I was just like wow out. So
Speaker 2: I spent the rest of the delivery on the floor,
Speaker 2: which is great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's helpful for sure.
Speaker 2: Did you have a gender reveal though?
Speaker 3: You know what sucks?
Speaker 5: As we did and my buddies won't let me let
Speaker 5: it down because I've made them so much. And my wife,
Speaker 5: I mean, my wife did me dirty.
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, we can't, right, I mean
Speaker 3: she's like yeah, just She's like, simple, it's.
Speaker 2: Just you've ruined this for us.
Speaker 5: We cut a cake open with a few We were
Speaker 5: hanging out some friends and cut a cake and the
Speaker 5: icing inside was blue.
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's lovely.
Speaker 2: Have you ever done a live show and done a
Speaker 2: gender do someone's asked you to do a gender reveal
Speaker 2: for great question?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Not on stage during the show. You know, people don't holler.
Speaker 5: But when I do like meet and greets where they're
Speaker 5: you get a photo with your fans and they're like,
Speaker 5: would you hold this for us?
Speaker 3: This is how we're like announcing the gender. I'm like sure, sure,
Speaker 3: I bought her to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: I got a charge for.
Speaker 2: This, I know, right, talk to talk to Hannah, I
Speaker 2: reckon Harry Styles probably charges now. Yeah, yeah, she's done enough.
Speaker 1: How was it after Thomas was born?
Speaker 5: Remus, It's funny we have jo joking like calling him
Speaker 5: a grimma sometimes.
Speaker 1: How were the first few months of being a dad?
Speaker 3: Oh? Awful?
Speaker 5: They they're I mean, it was like the best thing
Speaker 5: ever but also the worst. As you guys know, it's yeah,
Speaker 5: I just say, way underestimated. I remember people being so
Speaker 5: dramatic what was hard, and fairness to us, we had
Speaker 5: a particularly hard go at it. He wouldn't nurse. He
Speaker 5: had to get this little procedure on a tongue tie procedure.
Speaker 5: When he's like six weeks, finally figure that out and
Speaker 5: that fixed it. But for six weeks it was like
Speaker 5: her trying to nurse, pumping, warming up a bottle, feeding
Speaker 5: the bottle sterilized. So it was just like triple the time.
Speaker 3: And we're doing it.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 3: I mean it was hard, but it's amazing. Just no hesitation.
Speaker 5: We're up every like hour and a half and you're
Speaker 5: just automatically taking care of him. And like I described parenthood,
Speaker 5: like the early days is like I'm nearly at my
Speaker 5: breaking point, just like I'm doing it.
Speaker 3: I love this kid, but this is like what am
Speaker 3: I getting from this?
Speaker 5: And when I was at my it's in at like
Speaker 5: three am, he smiled at me for the first time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you forget all that stuff, don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's all out the window. Like I get it.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 1: So and then it goes quickly back to the screaming
Speaker 1: and yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah right right, and then for days you're like, so
Speaker 5: smile again.
Speaker 2: He kep making him smile. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like it
Speaker 2: your very early days, so like, I mean, there's a
Speaker 2: lot more to look forward to. Have caused my question.
Speaker 2: We sort of ask every dad, have you been chat
Speaker 2: on yet?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, we're lucky.
Speaker 5: I think we had a He didn't do too much,
Speaker 5: like blowing out of his diaper and stuff, but there
Speaker 5: was an ull time memory of middle of the night.
Speaker 3: You know, We're delirious, we're going through it.
Speaker 5: I've gone him by the ankles, lifted up to wipe
Speaker 5: the current poop and project projectile dude, like four feet
Speaker 5: not kidding you, I'm just like God, and I'm again
Speaker 5: my wife's the more like patient, like everything's great. One
Speaker 5: so she just dies laughing and I'm like, this is
Speaker 5: not okay. I am falling.
Speaker 2: Apart, covered in ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And it's amazing how quick you get used to them
Speaker 5: puking on you, and it just doesn't the first few times,
Speaker 5: like and they're like, oh yeah, it's just fine.
Speaker 2: It's funny when you're around people that don't have kids
Speaker 2: and any kid like does it being a poonami as
Speaker 2: we called around here poonami And they're like what the fuck?
Speaker 2: And were just like this is normal.
Speaker 1: Just like wiping off the wall and you're like what
Speaker 1: what is it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? What what are you? Like?
Speaker 1: That number two? Where are we at with that? Obviously
Speaker 1: it's still early days. With Grimace Thomas the Four.
Speaker 5: I love that they're like, he's Thomas the Fourth. He
Speaker 5: goes by Grimace. It's a Wikipedia inside joke.
Speaker 2: It's when's that little Kaylee coming along?
Speaker 3: Right? It's crazy.
Speaker 5: We're lucky that because you know, a lot of people
Speaker 5: struggle and we were like, we want to have this
Speaker 5: kid at this time. It worked, so we have high
Speaker 5: hopes that we can planet. Accordingly, that's just surrounded by
Speaker 5: like my tours, which is like crazy. So this tour
Speaker 5: in the next like May, and so we're hoping the
Speaker 5: back half of next year to add to the family.
Speaker 3: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yep, you never know.
Speaker 5: But we're in our thirties, always practicing, yeah, always, so
Speaker 5: we want to. We just wants three kids. I just
Speaker 5: I'm team like, boom boom boom, let's just get it done.
Speaker 3: Raise the kids.
Speaker 1: After you became a dad with it, any specific kind
Speaker 1: of dad tendencies that you noticed all of a sudden
Speaker 1: started creeping into your personality.
Speaker 5: Unfortunate, Like I feel my wardrobe changing, you know, like
Speaker 5: I was like all graphic t's and being cool and
Speaker 5: young and sneakers, Jordan's whatever, and I just I'm leaning
Speaker 5: towards a nice loafer now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, oh no, a nice stripe, shit.
Speaker 3: Exact, Yeah, the nice button up all the way. It's
Speaker 3: just weird stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you start speaking in weird dad phrases that I
Speaker 5: stopped myself, you know, small talk people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I start to sound like my dad, and I'm like, yeah, you.
Speaker 5: Do a cheesy joke, and and then you notice I've
Speaker 5: noticed my dad acting like a grand Then you're like,
Speaker 5: oh no, it's just all happening. Like when we were
Speaker 5: preparing for number one. My parents are meeting me and
Speaker 5: my sister are meeting me down in Australia because we're
Speaker 5: gonna finish the tour and then hang around. Oh nice, Yeah,
Speaker 5: so that'll be fun, like in which city Sydney?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Michael, so love.
Speaker 5: To come around, you know, introduced my sister's Yeah, she
Speaker 5: loves the bachelor here, so she can you know, she'd
Speaker 5: get fired up. No, we'll have to get together if
Speaker 5: you all are free. But I I love recommendations, but
Speaker 5: my dad to prepare because again he's a type of dad.
Speaker 3: He's like, we need our tenerary all that he just said.
Speaker 5: He's like, I found this great resource and it was
Speaker 5: like Australia dot government dot com. I was like, Dad,
Speaker 5: this isn't he thought he found like a groundbreaking source
Speaker 5: of information.
Speaker 2: That's just the government website.
Speaker 5: Yeah, traveling with a baby is a while too, so
Speaker 5: the trip over there is a journey. So I'm hoping
Speaker 5: he's a really good chill baby and generally on airplanes.
Speaker 3: So we're going to see how that goes.
Speaker 1: But I've looked at your tourist schedule and that is turbo.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how is the conversation with your wife to be like,
Speaker 1: I want to do sixty shows.
Speaker 5: My wife is just a hero, she really is. Just
Speaker 5: she holds it down. She takes care of him by herself.
Speaker 5: When I'm gone. She'll travel with him by herself to
Speaker 5: some of my shows. So she comes out to some
Speaker 5: of them, and we're trying to make it work and
Speaker 5: It is funny because we had a combo of like,
Speaker 5: all right, we're gonna do the tour this way because
Speaker 5: this is less intense than my first tour. This is
Speaker 5: my second tour. But she's really supportive and I think
Speaker 5: she knows I love it. And I think she knows
Speaker 5: too that who knows how long this will last, so
Speaker 5: we should probably get after it while we get.
Speaker 2: Canceled, right, So she's great.
Speaker 5: But she's coming to Australia and they're both coming. It's
Speaker 5: like a month long. We're doing Hawaii shows on the
Speaker 5: way on down to Australia. So we're very excited because
Speaker 5: I've always wanted to come to Australia ever been and
Speaker 5: I never thought I'd be able to do shows there.
Speaker 5: And I mean when we announced the dates, I was like,
Speaker 5: I mean my agents are telling me, yeah, yeah.
